Problem: Linked List Cycle III

med
30 min
Understand how to detect and measure the length of a cycle in a linked list using fast and slow pointers. This lesson helps you apply cycle detection methods to solve common linked list problems in coding interviews efficiently.

Statement

Given the head of a linked list, determine the length of the cycle present in the linked list. If there is no cycle, return 0.

A cycle exists in a linked list if there is some node in the list that can be reached again by continuously following the next pointer.

Constraints:

  • The number of nodes in the list is in the range [0,104][0, 10^4].

  • 105-10^5 \leq Node.value 105\leq 10^5
